Celebrating Global Partnerships: Obstetric Emergency Training with Basel University Hospital

At Edna Adan University (EAU), we believe that the key to reducing maternal mortality lies in continuous education and specialized training. We are proud to highlight our recent collaboration with experts from Basel University Hospital, Switzerland, who conducted a vital seminar on Obstetric Emergencies.


Enhancing Life-Saving Skills

The seminar was designed to equip our medical staff and senior students with advanced skills to manage critical complications during pregnancy and childbirth. The training focused on:

  • Managing Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH): Implementing rapid-response protocols to save mothers’ lives.
  • Neonatal Resuscitation: Advanced techniques for stabilizing newborns in distress.
  • Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia: Modern management of hypertensive emergencies in pregnancy.

A Note of Gratitude

The success of this program is a testament to the strength of international medical partnerships. We recently shared our formal appreciation with our colleagues in Switzerland:

“The training was a great success, significantly improving the preparedness of our healthcare professionals in managing critical maternal and newborn complications. We are truly grateful for your team’s expertise and dedication to building local capacity.”

Building Local Capacity

Collaborations like this are central to EAU’s mission. By bringing world-class expertise from Basel to Hargeisa, we ensure that our healthcare professionals are prepared to handle the most challenging cases with confidence and precision. This partnership doesn’t just provide a one-time training; it builds a foundation of knowledge that will be passed down through generations of midwives and doctors.
